Oh, wow, what a warm reception! the fediverse science community may be small but is definitely welcoming!
As many suggested, here is my #introduction : I am a physicist developing optical microscopy methods for biomedical applications at the Politecnico di Milano University, in Italy. I will try to fill the fediverse with colorful images of squishy biological things. Apparently, I am also the new resident #opendata manager, so expect some posts on that! #microscopy#lightsheet#optics
Do you work in open source? Do you think it has a funding problem? If so, please take my 10 minute survey at https://opensource.study. By participating, you can help provide an understanding of what has worked and what hasn’t in the ecosystem.
This survey is part of a research project at ASU and is completely voluntary. If you have any questions about participation, please reach out to me here.
We are very happy to announce that the citizen science and open data platform One Million Voices of Agroecology has been listed on the EU-Citizen.Science Platform.
EU-Citizen.Science is an online platform for sharing knowledge, tools, training and resources for citizen science – by the community, for the community.
Hello knowledge enthusiasts! 👋 We've just launched this account for Wikimedia UK - the national chapter of the global wiki movement. We'd be delighted to connect with any Wikimedians and open knowledge advocates on here! #introduction#opendata#wikipedia
I'm David, once an archaeologist and classicist, pretty much always a nerd. Currently working at the Swedish National #Archives leading its little Digital Experiences team.
ever since I started being a scientist I have been continually gobsmacked at how we are suckers for literally every scam, and the effect of all those scams defines the daily practice of science from front to back. I don't think I'll ever stop being mystified at how people can decide that being mandated to straight transfer like a 5th of every grant to the worst companies in the world is just not relevant to them.
"it's not my job, I just do the science, and every part of how I do the science is kneecapped by my decision that it isn't my job"
I have heard the arguments about precarity and unevenness of expertise and so on and so forth, but almost all of that is itself a symptom of our failure to take responsibility for the political-economic circumstances of our work
we didn't think it was important to be active in our unions to resist neoliberalizing universities. great now you get paid just enough to choose between eating and rent.
we didn't think it was important to rebuild healthy communication systems. billions of dollars later, we funded the surveillance conglomerates that power ICE, own the process by which our work is evaluated and how we maintain our jobs, and make all of our publicly funded research either unavailable to 99.9999% of the world or else subject to a pay-for-prestige APC model designed to reward playing along with a healthy dose of Matthew effects.
and now the infrastructure to support the Nelson Memo's mandate for #OpenData is not our problem. I can't wait to give Amazon total control over scientific data and a brand new shiny revenue stream that never goes down
Hello Fediverse, we are #OpenRefine, an open source power tool for working with messy data! We finally have an account here and will be sharing news about what is happening in the project and the broader community.
Je suis en train de préparer un document sur les #communsnumeriques et j'ai besoin de votre aide.
Je commence par la question #1 :
1 - quels sont les pires exemples de foirage de projets de communs numériques d'après vous ? (je pense au fait que LibreOffice a été forké, ou à OwnCloud.). Vous en avez d'autres, autour du code, d' #OpenData ou de contenus ?
How Academic Bullying Led This Data Scientist to Open Science.
In her insightful article, @pcmasuzzo shares how she was bullied into producing bad science, how she became fed up with academic culture and what she had to do to rediscover her love for science.
Every tree of #Berlin on a #WebGL map, along with its age and species and calculated water needs, as well as amount of rainwater received, so that locals can water them best 🌳😃 https://www.giessdenkiez.de/
Along with public fountains, supporting community organizing, all in #OpenData and #OpenSource.
Brilliant work from @citylabberlin!

If you're a student doing research in energy systems, we're working on a grant that would let us support you in developing open data wrangling & software development skills. Would you be willing to spend <10min filling out this survey to help us better understand your needs? Survey closes Friday, Feb 2nd.
Hello Mastodon World #Introduction! I'm Josh, a Prof of Anthropology & Social Informatics at Indiana University South Bend, principal investigator w/Digital Index of North American Archaeology (DINAA). I work at intersections of people, heritage, tech, & research, love to help folks use data systems more humanely, openly, & equitably
We're hiring a technical writer familiar with Python, Sphinx, @readthedocs
and hopefully also energy systems to help improve our #OpenData docs. It's contract work and the writer doesn't need to be in the US. Please share & boost!
